Shantelle Taylor was asking me why now, of all times, I had finally decided to pursue my dream of being a ring announcer. I thought about it for a minute and then told her, “Because now I have the opportunity.” But I’m not completely sure that was the entire answer. Truth is I still don’t know exactly “why now”. I mean, why didn’t I try this years ago? I’ve always wanted to get involved in professional wrestling…so what was holding me back? Really, why now?
I guess one day I just woke up and realized “Hey, I’m 37, if not now…when? I’m not getting any younger. Am I going to let this dream just disappear forever?”

Former TNA Knockout, Taylor Wilde has spoken to The Sun about her decision to quit wrestling.
Earlier today, we announced that Wilde will compete in her final match for Diva Dirt, ChickFight and Pro Wrestling Revolution on February 5th against Alissa Flash.
On her decision to leave wrestling and TNA, she said:
She told us: “I’m not just leaving TNA, I’m retiring from wrestling and going back to school.
“I have nothing but good things to say about TNA. If it wasn’t for my experiences there I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
“But the way things were going, I just felt I needed a change. With the state of the company and the way they were using me, there wasn’t a lot for me to keep me going either.
“I’ve done a lot of the things I wanted to do, and there aren’t many opportunities left for me.”
Former TNA Knockouts Champion, Taylor Wilde — real name Shantelle Malawski — revealed on Twitter today that she quit her role with the company. Responding to a fan question about her absence from TNA television, Malawski simply replied: “I quit.” Her tag team partner, Hamada, also opted to leave the company and was not released … Read more
While we know that Hamada is definitely gone, a new report in today’s Wrestling Observer suggests that her tag team partner, Taylor Wilde — real name Shantelle Malawski — may also be done with TNA. The Observer writes: “Wilde’s contract may have expired as well. Was told for now she’s done, but they are open … Read more
On this week’s TNA Xplosion, we see another collision between former tag team partners Sarita and Taylor Wilde. The former has been on a winning streak as of late, can she continue it? Or will one half of the current tag team champions stop Sarita cold? Find out below…
First out is Sarita, in an orange, blue and black outfit. Looks good on her. Cocky as ever, she makes her way into the ring. Next out is Taylor Wilde and she’s ditched the skirt and skimpy bikini top in favor of more proper looking gear coloured blue and yellow. Nice!
Coming off the heels of one hell of a brawl at TNA Turning Point, one would assume that the powers that be would continue to build the feud between Mickie James and Tara, leading up to another action-packed match. Right? Right? Think again, this is TNA we’re talking about. It should be TMNS – Totally Makes No Sense. Last night, we received no follow up, no segments, no interaction between the two. What we did get is a mixed tag match that follows up on the feud between Jay Lethal and Robbie E. Jay has recuited one half of the TNA Knockout Tag Champions, Taylor Wilde to be his partner against Robbie E and Cookie. Can the Jersey kids keep the party going or will it be canceled?
Prior to the match, we see Robbie E and Cookie walking towards the stage. Cookie is trying to talk to Robbie about said match, but he’s too busy admiring the X-Division Championship belt. As they near the camera, Cookie has a message for Taylor. “I may not be a wrestler, but I’m from Jersey – I know how to fight!” (Must be a Jersey thing…) She tells Robbie she’s going to make him proud of her tonight.
Back from commercial, out first is Jay Lethal and Taylor Wilde, her tag belt around her waist. (Wasn’t there some kind of rule that said you had to defend your belt before 30 days were up or you were stripped? Oh wait, that would require continuity…) Whoever does the women’s makeup in TNA ought to be fired. Taylor’s sporting a blue top and skirt instead of silver, which looks lovely on her, but the makeup is horrid. It’s unnecessary how they cake it on. Her hair looks cute though, flipped up on the edges.
Next out is Robbie E and Cookie, but looks like Cookie’s having second thoughts. She’s screaming at Robbie, who’s paying her no attention, too absorbed in the belt he’s carrying. She’s sporting an outfit that looks more suited to clubbing, not wrestling, huge boots with fishnets and those huge hoop earrings are a hazard in this environment. Robbie gets into the ring, celebrating with the belt, but Cookie remains on the outside, waving at Robbie, refusing to get in the ring. Only when the referee starts counting her out and Rob yells at her to get in the ring, does she scurry between the ropes, still pouting. Fade to commercial.
